Ok, here goes the grunch. I'm glad I sometimes play with my Mac and don't have any PT/PAHUD running and I make notes on play myself

LAG: Oh my beloved LAGtard. You love to "play the person" not the cards, you raise any two cards. Your aggressive behaviour pays off often, as you'll check-raise a bluff sometime. Eventually I'll just call you down. You'll accuse me of being a calling station... I actually have respect for these players. If I see somebody betting aggressively and then showing down J9s for second pair, this will be my LAG

TAG: These are guys where I constantly see good cards being shown at SD. I see them bet their draws favorably and sometimes a bit of intelligent play (good c/r, hardly slowplaying). I almost never see them cc and see their ranges go down with position. Without PT, though, the true TAG is difficult for me to spot. I just make a mental note of good play.

Calling Station: Me bet, you call. I got TPTK, you BPBK, you don't care, you call, you call, you call. Most of the time, you'll limp into every pot. If you're behind me, you'll cold call, any K9 or so. Sometimes you'll win a huge pot off me, because you hit your 3 outer, congrats!

Loose: Oh, you're in the pot again... lol. Well, any two cards can win, right? I actually don't just go with loose, because I still need to go deeper (LAG,maniac, etc.)

Passive: I don't write this one that much. It would go under calling station.

Tight: What, wait? Who's that? Oh that guy who's been sitting opposite the table. Was he here 50 hands ago (checks). Yes he was. Strange, never seen him before with me in a pot. If something like this happens, the guys is tight.

Aggressive: I couple this one with some other aspect, but usually in my book this will mean aggressive post flop. I will call him down with weaker that usual showings on the river.

Maniac: Raise, raise, raise. I don't think this guy knows any other word. 62o, raise it up. This one is different from the LAG, in that the LAG stays away even from those crappy cards. This guy... not so much. Other than that, pretty LAG.

Idiot: I usually reserve this category for bad beats. I know I should treat every fish the same, but that's just how I go. If somebody goes runner runner straight on me with 93o and he's betting all the way. Sorry, that's an idiot.

Tricky: Raise pf, check pf often. Loves to c/r on turn. Exactly opposite behaviour. If he's got something good, I guess you'll find out on the river. If he's got garbage, he's betting on the flop and getting out on the turn.

Rock: I don't see these guys that often at lower stakes. You know, the ones which limp with AQs, because they'll likely run into pocket Kings or so. They'll coldcall QQ, becasue the other guy has AA and so on. But then something happens. Post-flop, this guy wakes up and takes charge, bets on slim favorable draws and just plays scaringly.

These tendencies I note also for live play. I have noticed that especially the LAG goes up at games between 6/12 and 20/40. Rocks tend to be older people, who just sit their time out in the casino. Maniacs might be drinking.
